I really love computer science, coding and mostly all the amazing things you can do with this knowledge, i feel i finally landed in my world.

I’m doing a Javascript course now and while it is really engaging to learn about how a language like that works and how to build with it, i’m getting quite tired and frustrated…

Now, i’d say i am quite meticulous when studying and i use some studying techniques to really integrate what i’m learning, but that means that 1h or even less lesson can take me all the time i have to study in a day to be understood, noted down and then repeated over the following days…

There are a lot of quite complicated concepts to understand and memorize, and, as i’m also working, sometimes it gets quite tiring.

I feel like there’s this huge amount of never ending work and concepts before i can actually start do something cool with the knowledge i have, and i really want to start doing something cool.

I re-started to study after many years so i’d say it’s also because of that if i’m not really used to it and i can’t process much informations at the time.

How can you get better into gaining knowledge? how can you prevent getting fatigued?

    This is terrible advice… but it’s what worked for me. If you’re the same kind of idiot as me, maybe this will work for you, too:

    Give up and come back later. Yes, I’m serious – take a break for as long as you like so long as you pinky promise to try again someday (I did say this was terrible advice). That’s the beauty and curse of learning something for fun! You can be inefficient and make progress (or not) on strictly your own terms.
